Christmas Open House

Welcome to our home for Christmas. Wow, I want to thank all of you for linking to Table Top Tuesday, we had such a fabulous turnout. If you missed any of the participants, you've really missed a lot. Thank you all so much.

Come on in, we have plenty of Christmas goodies, some Sparkling Cider and we would love to sit and visit.

The tree is already for Santa to make an appearance. The stockings are under the tree and waiting to be filled.

The coffee table is decorated to remind us of the reason for the season.

You can catch a peek at the china cabinet in the mirror.

The silver is all polished and the crystal all washed, ready to celebrate the season.

We don't have a fireplace, so the China cabinet gets the Santa, garland and a couple of hurricanes.

The dining area and buffet are all decked out for the season too.

The Buffet holds my little village. I also hung a wreath in the window. You'll have to wait to see the Dining table, I'm sharing that at the "Christmas Cloche Party" on Friday. Mr. Linky will be up Thursday evening. Don't forget to join us for all the fun.

As I unpacked the rest of the Christmas decor, I found another house and the lighted Christmas tree. Such fun to set it up and dream of a simplier time.

Do you ever decorate anyting that is NOT beautiful?!?!?!? Don't answer because I already know the answer is no! lol Marty, your home is lovely, warm and inviting. I love seeing the seasonal changes you make to your house. Your tree is just beautiful!!!

Marty,Visions of loveliness! I am still fasinated with how your mirror gives us glimpses of the other rooms before you share them with us! Thank you for allowing us into your home for your Christmas Tour!Fondly,Pat

Everything looks so warm and cozy and inviting! I love your crucifix on the coffee table, so beautiful. And of course, all of the vignettes in the kitchen. The top of the China cabinet looks wonderful too! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the cloche party. I love the bear and the rocking horse :)

Marty!! Charming from top to bottom, as always. It takes so much time to put everything in place as I have just been through it...and appreciate all the work you went to making us welcome into your Christmas home. I think we are having fun!! Thanks for helping make this season a true joy!You have also helped make this year such fun for me!Hugs, love and Merry Christmas!!Mona

Hi Marty~ Your tree is just beautiful! I love all the festive touches you added to your room as well- the wreath above your little village is darling. I am going to see about getting a cloche post together in time to join your party- Stopping by today from Linda's party.

Marty - I love every single solitary inch.I especially love the toys in the cloche in the kitchen and REALLY love the little red angel on the plate next to the sleigh. My Mom used to have something similar . . . no idea what happened to them.I didn't set my village up this year - no time - so I am going to enjoy yours!Have a wonderful day!Merry Christmas! Karen
